Seth done dabbled too far to appease the social media activists that every interview now he's apologizing for old jokes from his past and movies. Like damn nikka, you can be a good human being and not try to cater to every damn "woke" person you encounter.

I'm not even talking about the Franco stuff, I'm talking about him crying how his movies won't "age well" or about old jokes he had in his movies because a small portion of people are offended by them. That's why Chappelle remains my favorite comedian, he recently said "you can never be woke enough" for everybody so he just gonna do him and everyone knows his good intentions so fukk anyone who doesn't :yeshrug:
Nah Dave and Chappelle are both shyt sides of the same coin

He didn't have sex with anyone under age. Learn what your talking about even if it means reading a couple of paragraphs.
What I will say is he didn’t get “caught” having sex with someone underage. Cause he def kinda came off like he was still down to mess wit that 17 year old shorty but she started acting sus so he backed off. Even tho depending on the state(like mine) he wouldn’t get hit with a statutory charge cause 17 is age of consent it’s still not cool imo based on his age and the age gap.

OK, but it's nothing I'm willing to end a friendship over.
If a friend of mine texted someone months from becoming 18 and the brief out of context part if the text I saw he was trying to get off the text back and forth amicably so she wouldn't make it public, yeah I would still not distance myself from them. That's just me, I have a lot of confidence in who I choose to associate with. I wouldn't undermine my judgement of character so easily based on out of context texts.

Seth Rogan has a career on the line and I don’t think that’s the hill he wants to die on. Now if my friend showed me it’s all bullshyt that’s a different story. And I def wouldn’t end a friendship off hearsay and public witch hunts but still. I would have a conversation to make sure it’s all bullshyt. Seth has to tread lightly with that shyt publicly tho. If he knows it’s bullshyt and still throwing him under the bus. That’s foul. Not saying he has to mess his brand up by continuing a working relationship. But completely throwing him under the bus publicly would be foul in that case. I think anybody in this thread(especially black men) should understand not to throw people under the bus over hearsay. Because we have been getting lynched, arrested, beaten, and killed for decades based on a white bytches lies and hearsay. I don’t trust white women AT ALL.

I initially thought Seth was kinda foul for throwing Franco under the bus without proof but from seeing those texts presented in this thread I can see why Seth would wanna distance himself. He didn’t proceed with anything when he found out her age but it seemed like he was still down. As far as the rape and all that stuff goes do u have anything on that cause I haven’t heard anything about that.
He was sued by a few women saying he used his acting school to establish “a pipeline of young women who were subjected to his personal and professional sexual exploitation in the name of education.”

Then this a couple days ago Charlyne Yi Called James Franco A 'Sexual Predator' On Instagram

Reading this. It sounded like she heard about the accusations and tried to leave the movie. So they offered her a better role. And she declined. I’m not dismissing the other women’s claims but this chick just seem like she clout chasing the situation. Talking about a “bribe”. That’s literally the equivalent of u trying to quit ur job and they offer u a promotion to try to keep u on board. That’s not a bribe. Lol.

Is his career really on the line tho? He didn't do anything. Saying I wouldn't be adverse to working with someone in the future I have already worked with in the past is going to sink him? I don't think so. Plus he's a producer, he has hands on the lever of productions. I doubt he would lose all that over giving a friend a vote of confidence. And lastly he is rich beyond 99% of people. If he stopped working in Hollywood tomorrow he would be better off than most.
I wouldn't contribute negatively to a media assasination of character of my friend. This isn't court and the media is using this for clicks not actual concern for victims. I would not take part in any of it.

Do u see how that chick tried to take Seth Rogan down with Franco in her article about the “bribe” she received? Just cause he was a producer on the movie. This is the type of shyt Seth is trying to avoid. If u look at that article for the title. U would think some heinous shyt happened to her on set at the hands of Franco. When in reality. The bytch just said she wanted to leave the movie because of the accusations lobbied against him. But they offered her a better role trying to convince her to stay. Somehow that’s a bribe in her world. When it reality. It’s normal work shyt. I guess u can say that the fact that she was uncomfortable working on set with him it’s an HR issue to try to dismiss that and convince her to stay. But still. Shorty was being dramatic. I kinda hate the way things are right now cause real victims of shyt get lost in all this cap and clout chasing.
